A 4-19-7 record in the last two seasons had Maryland women’s soccer searching for answers.
Former head coach Ray Leone’s contract expired at the end of the 2021 season, and Meghan Ryan Nemzer, a Maryland native with 15 years of experience on the Rutgers coaching staff, was hired.
Junior midfielder Sydney Urban, although still a Florida Gator when Nemzer was introduced, knew Maryland was the place to be when she heard the current head coach was coming to the struggling program.
“When Meg got hired, the amount of people that spoke about how fast this program was going to turn around, purely based on the coach, is just crazy,” Urban said.
